My comments: Just the kind of soft fluff that I need in these ultra-depressing gray days.  A clean rom-com, the type of book that for my previous sixty years I totally refused to read and would never ever admit that I liked them, isn't that a riot?   This was a cutie fake boyfriend book, on of the tomes that I fund delicious.

Goodreads synopsis:  Heat up the holidays with this sizzling new novella from New York Times best-selling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward!
          Riley Kennedy’s emails keep getting crossed with her colleague, Kennedy Riley.
          The infuriating man forwards them along with his annoying commentary and unsolicited advice. At least she never has to see him in person since they work in different locations…until they come face to face at the office holiday party. As luck would have it, Kennedy turns out to be gorgeous…though still a jerk. Yet somehow he’s able to charm her out on the dance floor—and convince her to participate in his crazy scheme: He’ll go home with Riley for a Christmas party and pretend to be her boyfriend if Riley agrees to be his date to a wedding.
          It sounds easy enough. But little by little, the act they’re putting on starts to feel like so much more than a Christmas pact—and Riley’s about to learn there’s more to Kennedy than she ever imagined.
